This week/ Team/ Comments1 New England Patriots * Were near flawless in win and now stud WR enters the fold.2 Kansas City Chiefs * Impressive road smackdown of a supposedly strong defence.3 Baltimore Ravens * Lamar Jackson’s five TD passes was one short of last year’s total.4 Dallas Cowboys * Dak Prescott silenced his critics with a near perfect outing.5 Minnesota Vikings * Defence was lights out while offence did what was necessary.6 New Orleans Saints * A rollercoaster ride game produced an exciting victory7 Tennessee Titans * One of best balanced teams has caught everyone’s attention.8 Los Angeles Rams * Rams hung on for road win but Goff seems off.9 Los Angeles Chargers * Austion Ekeler’s performance weakened Melvin Gordon’s leverage.10 Philadelphia Eagles * Slept through first half but awoke when they needed to.11 Houston Texans * Tough loss after a gutsy effort at difficult New Orleans.12 Seattle Seahawks * Seahawks gave survivor poolsters a scare.13 Green Bay Packers * Not the sharpest win but satisfying to take opener at Chicago.14 San Francisco 49ers * 49ers three interceptions topped all of 2018 season total (2).15 Buffalo Bills * Strong defence and determination led to unlikely comeback win.16 Indianapolis Colts * It’s been a long while since Adam Vinatieri cost his team a game.17 Detroit Lions * Despite tie, blowing an 18-pt 4th quarter lead feels like a loss.18 Carolina Panthers * Cam’s throwing shoulder will be an issue all season long.19 Oakland Raiders * A 1-0 start is nice but next six weeks provide huge challenges.20 Pittsburgh Steelers * Were flatter than an open bottle of cola left in sun for three days.21 Cleveland Browns * Browns being Browns in horrible opening day beatdown.22 Atlanta Falcons * Some felt the Falcons were sleepers. More like they were asleep.23 Cincinnati Bengals * Good effort in loss and encouraging to see offence come to life.24 Chicago Bears * Mitch Trubisky boo-birds out in full force and rightfully so.25 Arizona Cardinals * Kudos for comeback tie with rookie QB making first start.26 Washington Redskins * Bubble burst after fast start. Running back position is problematic.27 New York Jets * It’s not easy to lose with a +4 in turnovers but Jets managed it.28 New York Giants * Without a pass rush, expect opposing QB’s to pad stats.29 Tampa Bay Buccaneers * Jameis Winston threw two TD’s to opponent, only one to his guys.30 Denver Broncos * Apathetic offensive play remains a recurring nightmare.31 Jacksonville Jaguars * No bright spots to report and starting quarterback out indefinitely.32 Miami Dolphins * Highly unlikely that anyone uses them in survivor pool this week.
